About Me

Please Note: For any food swaps I can't have anything with wheat/gluten, msg, strawberries or any fin fish (a lot of sauces and dressings use them as flavor enhancers).

I'm a single mom on a budget that loves anything crafty. If I don't already know how to do it I'll figure it out. I love dressing up the ordinary to make something new and fun. I'm big into embroidery, it's my favorite. It's followed closely by jewelry making, scrapbooking and card making. I want to learn to crochet, quilt and knit (more than scarves) :) I have an 8 year old son that is all boy and keeps me on my toes.

THINGS I REALLY LIKE: Beads, anything to do with embroidery, Ribbon, buttons, jewelry findings, old broken jewelry that can find a new purpose, I'm a rabid Box Tops for Education Collector (as long as they're not expired), New Stamps, Greeting cards (handmade and store bought), Star Wars, Campbells Labels for Education, Violins, sheet music, old maps, ladybugs and owls (since the passing of my Grammie 3 years ago they have become my little sign that she's still with me).

THINGS I REALLY DO NOT LIKE: Cigarette smoke smell, flakers, teacher reward stickers, puffy stickers, "trash" items and did I mention flakers? (hopefully the list doesn't need to get any longer then that!) :)

Misc Stuff

I live in Northern California where there are so many things to do and places to explore. We often take day trips (and lots of photos) of our adventures. My partners in crime are usually my son and my mother. We're kind of the three muskateers! We may end up at the beach one weekend and in the mountains playing in the snow the next. I love it here!

Favorite Television

I only really follow a handful of shows since most of the time we're watching the Disney channel! lol I like Castle, Bones, Revenge, Once Upon a Time, Suburgatory, New Girl, Raising Hope and of course Doctor Who (I'm a big ol' Whovian) and I like a few others as well....

Favorite Movies

I really do love movies but have only really been able to freely watch animated ones for the last few years! That's parenthood! :)

I love cheesy movies.....what can I say. I love all the old B movie horror films (Evil Dead, Dead Alive, Army of Darkness is my fav) and cheesy comedy.I also like Disney, anything with Jason Statham, Serendipity, Princess Bride, Elf, and many many more! The old "Brat Pack" movies are a fave in this house too and pretty much anything Mike Meyers....like I said, the cheesier the better. :)

My Wishlist

  • Coffee (anything but decaf)
  • Fluid Chalk - any color
  • Glue dots, pop dots, any adhesive for paper crafting
  • buttons
  • tea (I love trying new teas!)
  • ribbons
  • addy labels
  • Card making supplies
  • sheet music, maps, wallpaper, any cool paper to make things out of
  • Owls, they are very special to me
  • stickers
  • any sort of surprise!
  • Etsy Faves
  • die cuts or punchies
  • funky socks
  • jewelry findings
  • Embroidery Supplies and patterns
  • ANYTHING from Sublime Stitching (www.sublimestitching.com)
  • Box Tops for Educatioin and/or Campbell's Labels for Education. Joshie's school is VERY small and we can really use the extra points!!!

Ratings/Flaking

what I pledged!!!

If you're waiting for something from me and it hasn't shown when it should please send me a message. I'm near 2 post offices during the day and will NEVER EVER flake on anyone. I would only guess that it would have gotten lost along the way somewhere and will do my best to get a replacement out to you. Just know that I don't want to be flaked on so I will never flake on anyone else. If by chance you do not receive something please contact me prior to rating. Do unto others, right?

My Crafty To Do List

I'm working on making some more paper beads.

More embroidery! Love it (Sublime Stitching is my fav site)

I'm getting big into card making....so fun!

I've got what I call "Crafters ADD" which means I just can't keep myself working on one project. My goal is to get that under control and only work on a few crafts at a time instead of a bunch!

My little monkey man

My son Josh ~ Birthday : May 16

He loves:

  • Star Wars
  • Cool erasers for school (he collects them)
  • Coins and money from other countries (his new collection)
  • Legos (minifigure packs)
  • Candy from other countries
  • Sour Candy (sour straws, sour patch kids, sour anything!)
  • Mega Blocks Halo characters
  • Airheads candy
  • Junior Mints, Kit Kats or Starburst
  • Spearmint Trident Gum
  • books about animals, native americans, history (at a 3rd grade level)
  • Postcards (he recently started a postcard collection ...thanks to @bb2 ...and is very excited to get more post cards!)
  • just about any other little boy related things!

  • Applesauce
  • Peanut Butter
  • Jelly
  • Cereals (any kind, hot or cold)

Comment: 13 days after you messaged me the swap arrived. What goes on with your PO? LOL Thanks so much for everything. I can't wait to try the stash tea and kcups.
Response: I wish I knew! This week alone I got a notice in my mailbox that I have a certified letter to pick up...... But I was home when the mail arrived and they never attempted to deliver to my door. AND I'm waiting on an eBay item....per tracking is been at the post office for 3 days. Needless to say I'm calling to complain on Monday. So tired of this. They were in the chopping block for closure......I think they need to pull the plug! Ugh. I'm glad you got it.... Finally! ♡

Response: That mirror sound amazing! I'm going to attempt one of those monogram pillows this year with buttons. We'll see if I actually get around to it! I LOVE buttons so if I find a stash I'll send some your way. I'm always searching garagle sales/estate sales/etc for buttons. :)
